Asian Design in 2014 @ RMIT

Four Projects-Bhutan

Design Rationale/Concept: To create a functional and a positive workspace where people feel invited to enter, rather than forced.

Where is it designed for? What country or market is it targeting?: It’s designed solely to be used as the banks headquarters and to provide facilities for the workers. It’s specifically designed for Bhutan and is culturally responsive.

Bhutan Elder Sangha Sanctuary-

Design Rationale/Concept: To create a small village that allows senior monks to ‘age-in-place’. The buildings are intended to serve as a model across Bhutan and were designed to be easily replicable (and adaptable) using only the building methods typically employed by the families and community groups that customarily band together when new buildings are needed.

Where is it designed for? What country or market is it targeting?: Targeting Bhutan specifically as it integrates the classical architecture and the families through replicable designs.
